Candler School of Theology

For more than a century, Candler School of Theology has been educating faithful and creative leaders for the church’s ministries throughout the world. Whatever their path—from church ministry to education, law, healthcare, advocacy, and the arts—our graduates are responding to God’s call and applying their talents in countless ways. Your gift helps make this possible.

Knowing that financial sacrifice is often part of a life of service, Candler is committed to providing generous financial support to students so they don’t take on excessive debt while pursuing their theological education—debt that could limit their options after graduation. With your help, we can free Candler graduates to follow God’s call wherever it leads, without the worry of paying off school loans.

When you give to Candler School of Theology, you are supporting the next generation of Christian leaders called to transform the world.

For Emory Day of Giving, we are highlighting these giving opportunities:

  • The Theology Fund for Excellence goes toward student financial assistance, directly affecting the cultivation of the next generation of ministers and public theologians.
  • The Candler Student Emergency Fund is available to master’s-level degree-seeking Candler students who have continued financial need after exhausting other available resources.
